Max – Adoption Fee Waived!
Personality Color: orange
Orange dogs are likely young, energetic, and enthusiastic with lots of love to give! They will thrive with regular exercise, and some training classes would be a good idea. These dogs would be a great companion for an active person who enjoys running or hiking in the park. Fenced-in yard a plus!- adult

Bio data
I am so itty bitty, can you believe how small and cute I am?! I am a curious, affectionate, social, and playful guy who enjoys meeting new friends! I love yummy treats and food, play with YOU and toys, I also love learning new tricks! I’ll need a cozy and comfy retreat all my own, gentle and dog-savvy people, and of course opportunities to explore and sniff!
Kids: 10+, does not enjoy being picked up; may guard food
Dogs: Friendly sniffing, prefers gentle play, can be overwhelmed by active dogs
Max was heartworm positive when he arrived at APS, but he has COMPLETED his heartworm treatment and restricted activity period! He has resumed regular activity and is soooo happy about it.
More about Max from his foster:
Max is a very outgoing and fun pup! He’s completed his heartworm treatment and is doing really well. He’s an energetic boy, so he’s excited that he can go on longer walks and hikes again! He adores his much larger foster siblings and really wants to play with them – he can definitely hold his own with larger dogs. He does prefer slow, gentle introductions. If there are people and dogs around, he wants to be right in the middle of the action!
While his activity was restricted, we gave him lots of brain games like lick pads and snuffle mats. He really enjoys them! He’s food-motivated (this boy LOVES cheese), so he’s been easy and fun to train – he’d love to learn more! He also loves toys – he’ll shred the soft ones in no time flat, so tougher toys like Kongs are best.
Max is pretty independent, so he needs a little time to warm up to people. Once he does, he enjoys being on your lap getting lots of cuddles. It’s best to let him get up there himself – it’s tempting to pick him up because he’s little, but he doesn’t enjoy that.
He sleeps quietly in a gated room at night, but we think he’d do fine in a crate, too. He’s just a great little pup who’ll be a wonderful companion!
